Re: Off-topic / GPS question

Assuming we're talking about the same model,

http://www.garmin.com/products/spi3/ ?

But it is clunky, for one thing. When I leave my car parked
somewhere, I usually stash the GPS inside rather than take it with me
- which with a little Nuvi would be no problem to do.

Aha, ok.

I also take my
III from car to car and I'm hoping I'll like the Nuvi's suction cup
mount a little better than the bean bag mount I've been using

I use the suction cup on mine and use it both in my car and my wife's; I've
never had any problems with it.

The other thing for me is, the III's memory card can hold detailed
maps of only part of the US at a time, and to load new parts onto it
is a big hassle if, like me, you have to use a Mac running Virtual
PC.

OK. That's not really an issue for me on this tiny island - I've got a card
with all of the UK and Ireland plus parts of France and Germany on it, which
is more than adequate for me! But I suppose it might be challenging trying
to fit all of the US onto it.
